Notes on Translation
The electronic translation service on the York Region District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.

The York Region District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.

The York Region District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

Parkland P.S. opened in 1991 to serve a culturally diverse student population in the Southeast area of Markham. Parkland provides a solid academic program within the context of the Ontario Curriculum. The school population grew steadily from 400 to a high of over 950 during late 1990s. As a result of the construction of a number of new schools in the area, Parkland now services just under 600 students.

In addition to our regular program students, Parkland hosts Gifted Students who have met the YRDSB gifted criteria, as well as a Primary Autism class. Both groups of students are valued and appreciated members of our school community.

Parkland is known as a school of wonderful students who demonstrate respect and concern for others on a daily basis. Not only are we a caring community, but we are a school that continues to excel both in the classroom and on the playing field. Students at Parkland are able to participate in a wide variety of extra curricular activities ranging from theatre and dance to a number of team sports.

Much of our success as a school can be attributed to the character and commitment of our community.Parkland students are known for their sense of optimism and belief in respect and responsibility that sets the tone for our entire community.
